==Description==
The '''Demon''' was originally created by the [[SLDF]] as its standard fighting vehicle in [[2716]].  A match for any light or medium [[BattleMech]], the Demon had good maneuverability and was protected by ten tons of slab armor, most of it concentrated in its front.  Due to the nature of its powerful main weapon the Demon was often used in ambush attacks and fought in pairs instead of the usual four-vehicle [[lance]].  The vehicle's main disadvantage was its lack of speed, which made it vulnerable to faster 'Mechs and other vehicles able to maneuver around and engage its weaker rear armor.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 106–107: "Demon Combat Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 210–211: "Demon Combat Vehicle Profile"</ref>
